2 Molières in 2023
- We like: a very good funny play, so funny!
- Age: from 12 years old
- Date : until January 5, 2025
- Duration: 1h30
- Location: at the Théâtre des Variétés (Paris 2nd)
- Pitch : we all have a look-alike in the world. What if you met yours? Since they visited an apartment to move in together, Arnaud has a slight doubt: did Marion have a crush on the real estate agent? By pure chance, he meets the latter’s look-alike and asks him to pretend to be the real estate agent. A great idea! Unless the fake agent comes face to face with the real one… And that a twin brother arrives unexpectedly. Three look-alikes in the same evening, it’s too much for Arnaud!
- After its success at the Théâtre Saint-Michel, it is at the Théâtre des Variétés that we find this “brilliant” play
- It’s a boulevard play with slamming doors, bursts of voices, misunderstandings but all in finesse.
- Very good boulevard, funny, funny and we laugh a lot!
- Sebastien Castro plays the role of the 3 look-alikes and his performance is phenomenal and bluffing
- An excellent piece that puts you in a good mood!
LA DÉPÊCHE DU MIDI • The story would be too simple if Sébastien Castro, a great admirer of Feydeau, had not invented a series of zany situations that will lead this couple adrift into a whirlwind where they no longer control anything. A delirious new play, where Sébastien Castro gives a lot of himself
TELERAMA • A delightful comedy of pure boulevard led at a hellish pace… Shocking situations and aftershocks… A very full room where endless laughter is unleashed… Irresistible
LE FIGARO • At the Théâtre Michel, Sébastien Castro’s comedy promises to be a success. On the bill for only a few days, A Brilliant Idea is already full at the Théâtre Michel.
THE OFFICIAL OF THE SHOWS • An extremely well-oiled and devilishly precise mechanism… The text, tasty, dynamites vaudeville and catapults the boulevard into the sky of the absurd with contagious jubilation… A show that lives up to its title!
LE FIGARO MAGAZINE • Sébastien Castro has been able to impose a style combining the old-fashioned charm of boulevard theatre with a very contemporary energy and humour. Endowed with an inimitable comic force, he is an actor that the public adores and whose best actors like to surround themselves with: José Paul, an outstanding artist, the energetic Laurence Porteil and the astonishing Agnès Boury… The quartet multiplies the characters as much as the laughter
FRANCE 3 • Bursts of laughter that don’t stop… Sébastien Castro, worthy heir to Feydeau!
LE PARISIEN • The audience is jubilant and literally writhing with laughter.
THEATRAL MAGAZINE • The lines could well become cult! The room jumped for joy… Fireworks!
EUROPE 1 • It’s great, you absolutely have to go!
THE DAILY LIFE OF THE DOCTOR • Irresistible is the comedy imagined and performed by Sébastien Castro, heir to virtuoso playwrights à la Ray Cooney. They laugh heartily and admire the great art of the actors.
PARIS PREMIERE • The room is laughing to death… And it’s true that it’s a great idea!
